Meet the Maker

Hello, and welcome to my little shop on the internet!  I'm Marisa, a 30-something Social Worker by day and a polymer clay dream-weaver by night, living out my childhood play-dough fantasies one handmade piece at a time.  I’m the heart and hands behind Nahema Clay Co, where I create slow-made pieces with lots of love (and probably an audiobook playing in the background).

While I’ve called Halifax, Nova Scotia home for over a decade, I am a Cape Bretoner at heart; a little salty, a little sweet, and forever drawn to the sea.  

When I’m not working in the addictions field or creating with clay, I’m usually lost in a good novel, scribbling stories of my own, or experimenting in the kitchen.  I'm also a dedicated cat mom, chronic over-packer, and self-proclaimed cafe critic.

You can follow more of my everyday magic; from travel snapshots to food adventures and feline antics, over on Instagram at @cafeandrose_

Thanks for being here. I’m so happy you’ve found your way to Nahema Clay Co.

 

 

Hi, I’m Stephanie.  By day, I’m a finance manager in the automotive industry. Outside of work, I’m a lifelong creative, drawn to art, colour, and the joy of making.  Joining Marisa on her Nahema Clay Co journey has been the perfect way to blend my love of design with hands-on creativity. It’s my favourite kind of balance.

Originally from Cape Breton, I now call Halifax home, but the Island will always have a piece of my heart. When I’m not working or creating, you’ll find me painting, watching Jeopardy, or planning my next trip. You can follow along over at @smlantonello
